JB’s Blog Addictions of the Week

February 17, 2012

I broke a mirror yesterday. It fell on the floor and legit shattered. Bad luck for 7 years? Maybe. I’m not really happy about that though so I’m acting like it’s not true. Even though I still believe that karma is true. I’ve got to believe in it when I’m dealing with aholes like Vday guy, right? Right.

I ate chicken with a side of apple pie nachos for breakfast this morning. Less of the chicken, more of the apple pie nachos. That’s because they feed my soul. And taste better than chicken. I was happy as a clam.

Valentine’s Day just kind of ruined my diet this week. I didn’t even have a bro buying me chocolate, but it still ended up in my house. Probably because I used my own cold earned cash to buy it. And I also have sh*tty girlfriends like Sarah and Sam who fuel the fire. Sam, who lives in Charleston, sent me chocolate covered almonds and deodorant for Vday. AND a freaking weener dog card. Dear God I love her. And Sarah made me these “paleo” truffles with coconut and chocolate chips. I ate so many I thought I might throw up. I think I have a problem. It’s called an addiction. I’m going cold turkey people. F*ck chocolate. I don’t need you.

So other than my chocolate addiction, I wasn’t addicted to a whole lot of new things. Other than thinking about what I’m going to cook for my next cooking video. I LOVED making a cooking video. Even though I was an awkward turtle for most of it, I loved it. It was exactly who I am….an awkward turtle, so I guess there was really nothing wrong with the video. But I’m hoping to make a more complicated meal this weekend and make it shorter so you don’t have to watch me ramble on for 12 minutes. No one should have to watch me talk for 12 minutes. No one.

But anyways, I have been addicted to other people’s blogs lately. I LOVE food blogs. Paleo or non paleo. They are just so cool to look at and see what great minds are coming up with. So I thought I would share my favorite blogs out there so you can see all there is to offer in the online food world.

Heather from MultiplyDelicious. Not only is this women ridiculously gorgeous AND have a ridiculously gorgeous family to go with it, but she is ingenious when it comes to cooking and all things food. And crafts. And really anything. She’s awesome, obviously. I LOVE checking out her blog, her photography is spot on!! Thanks for being awesome Heather!

Megan and Brandon from Health-Bent. I usually hate couples, especially good looking CrossFit ones (mostly because I envy them so much) but this couple is just too awesome to hate. Not only are they wicked cool people, but they are incredibly intelligent as well. Reading their viewpoints on paleo is some of my favorite stuff out there. AND they have HANDS DOWN, some of the best paleo recipes out there. I’m not even kidding you. They don’t EVER post something that isn’t going to light up your life and make you wish you lived on a food porn set. Plus, they have a super cool website. And photos. I love them. Did I already say that? Whatever.

Jess at Girl Walks into a Bar(bell). I’ve never chatted with her nor have I met her, but I have a total girl crush on her. She has a pretty damn sweet website, not a ton of paleo recipes, but just awesome CrossFit and other health related stuff. I mainly like looking at her pictures. She looks like a badass chick. If I had that bod, I’d invest in a better camera and take more pics of myself working out. Truth. Check out her website. She’s a badass CrossFit chick and who doesn’t like looking at those ladies!?

Finn and Greg of Modern Paleo Warfare. Why the eff I’ve never met these guys, I’ll never know. Probably because they don’t live here, nor do they know I stalk their blog. But I’m pretty sure we come from the same womb, which would actually suck because I hope to someday fall in love with one of them. Pretty sure they are married. Idiots. But not only do they make food porn to die for, they also make cooking videos with music. WITH WICKED GOOD MUSIC PEOPLE. I love them. And they cuss a lot. I like people like that.

Jessica from How Sweet It Is is my soul mate. Plain and simple. I’m sure 10,000+ other women say that daily, but holy balls this woman is HILARIOUS. It’s ridiculous. And she loves sweets as much as I do. And her pictures as some of the best food porn I’ve seen. Read her stuff. It’s epic. You may never want to eat paleo again after seeing her recipes, but whatever. It’d be worth it.

That’s all I got for ya right now.

I finished the chocolate almonds. Now I’ve cleaned my hands of all chocolate. Never turning back. You don’t control me chocolate.

Someone at work brought in 4 dozen fresh donuts today. I can smell them from my desk which is Fing evil. I had to come and look at some kick-ass lady paleo blogs to remind myself that donuts do not lead to anything positive for the body (or the booty). It’s given me the willpower NOT to shovel one into the hole in my face. So thanks for the extra links today!!

Just throwing this out there…if you were to make a smoothie with coconut milk, cherries and cacao nibs (i add 2 scoops protein powder)…it’d be like Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia…without all the sugar, yet still fairly awesome. So not only would your muscles love you, but so would your hips and the badunkadunk :)

I’m going to assume that in a moment of frustration, you are just joking around about chocolate. So at this time, there’s really no need for me to make a comment along the lines of “HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?”

Hey Juli, Love love love your blog. It is hilarious!
I’m also a fan of the modernwarfare guys. Thanks for posting everyday I love all the updates! Just started CF before Christmas and obsessed by it. Have good wknd x

Yeah. Chocolate rules. It always will so hell with anyone who tries to tell us “moderation.” Civilized Caveman is straight up legit on the food. I don’t know what to think about the weird @$$ pics the guy posts of himself on the “before and after” though. Almost makes me feel dirty for liking his food.

Hey J ~ don’t hate, but I’ve wondered about your skin problems, especially since you’re so healthy. It’s got to be a food-related issue – – – um, (oh god I’m so scared) like maybe the massive amounts of chocolate you consume? I know your dermatologist means well but she’s in the biz so she’s burning your face off and you’re paying her. (I have trust issues with the medical profession) And maybe it’s not the chocolate, but I keep thinking it might be the culprit. Just sayin’ is all . . .

Lol no hatin! I’m actually giving chocolate up for the next 6 weeks so we will see how it goes!! I had skin issues prior to my obsession with chocolate but you never know! Thanks for the tip! And I’ve actually been using an esthetician and not a dermatologist. I was sick of just getting prescribed $1000 pills that did nothing.

This is my 2nd thank you for posting all the recipes and putting so much work into something that is free and designed to help people. It’s work to keep thinking up new Paleo recipes for my family, in fact I kind of live in fear that one day they will rise up against me and beat me with Wonder Bread. Websites like this one keep things interesting for them and helps me keep them healthy. So, keep it up and thanks again- again!

This is just some “Modern Jackass” but, I tell myself that back in the day they said that breaking a mirror cost 7 years bad luck because it took that long to make a mirror – now it takes a few seconds to a few minutes – a couple hours at most – anyway – so yeah, breaking a mirror nowadays – gives one like 7 minutes bad luck, which is totally manageable.

Seriously?! I am hating on you right now. I just checked out the links you listed above and totally drooled all over my desk. (Yeah, yeah…I should be working instead of stalking these sites…especially yours since you are leading me down this dangerous road of addiction to food porn!) The donut recipe at Multiply Delicious…OMG so gonna have to buy a donut pan now. You suck! Ok, honestly I think you’re awesome. ;)

I just found your blog–already addicted–and I just have to say it because before even learning about your girl crush on Jessica from How Sweet It Is, I kept thinking to myself, “Wow, she totally sounds like the Paleo version of the girl from How Sweet It is!”. Forrealz. And I mean that as the ultimate compliment because I LURVE her blog. And now I really wanna go paleo and actually use your recipes! Awesome stuff, thanks!

I’d be lost without you ha. No really I would be. I read you daily and use all your recipes. I creepily talk about you like I know you. SOO Normal!
Great recipes and blogs.. Way to inspire people to be healthy !! You rock

I’ve full on CLEAN Paleo for 29 days… I did the 21 day challenge and I have been too scared afraid to waiver from it since I was seeing results. Today I was hit with a chocolate craving from Hades and I found your blog… I may have to go get some dark chocolate almonds and indulge without going overboard. Probably just as bad as stuffing my fave with fruit.

I'm a food hoarder. And a really bad dancer. If you don't know me well, you will probably not understand my humor. Therefore, I apologize ahead of time. Thanks for listening to my ramblings of my ever-changing life and trusting my kitchen mishaps. Your trust in me is appreciated.
